Hi Phil, if it is still in Fedora Extras, I imagine it will show up  
in EPEL once it is publicly available...

http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/

Wasn't aware of EPEL.  I see it says "The EPEL repository is not yet publicly available -- we are in the process of creation and initial testing phase."

Will keep an eye on it.

Thanks,
Phil
